Auf der Suche nach meinen Vorfahren habe ich Kontakt zu einem Amerikaner bekommen, dessen Vorfahren auch Botzkowski hießen, die aber wahrscheinlich nichts mit meinen Vorfahren zu tun haben.
Vielleicht kann in diesem Forum dazu jemand was sagen.
(Geburtsort bzw. Eltern der Auswanderer ?)
Danke Andreas
Hi Andy,
Thank you for e-mailing me. You are my first really, real response from a Botzkowski in eihter Germany or Poland. I've sent out questions now and again, but I've only gotten quick notes back saying they didn't feel their family had any connection to ours.
Here's some additional information for you to look over. We believe our Grandfather came from the little town of Jeseritz, on Lake Jeseritz, just South of Stettin, Poland. Howerver, as yet, we have little proof of this, except the town name Jeseritz on a US Federal Census form, which I found by accident. I've know there are Botzkowskis sprinkled through out Poland, and maybe some or all are related. Grandpa was born in February of 1865, and came to the US in 1883. He had a brother that came to the US a few years before he did, and they both settled in the Sauk Rapids area of Benton County, Minnesota. Grandpa's name was Jacob, and his brothers's name was Adam. They both claim the Botzkowski surname.

I look forward to communicating with you concerning this family name.
Blessings .....
